Trinidad at 168

[SacTown1]

I think that the better question is since when did Tito have a good enough chin to be able to move up to super middleweight and dominate?

Tito's chin has won him 5 title belts in 3 divisions, with only 1 loss to a living legend, and 168 is WEAK

Dude. He's too small. It don't matter if 168 is WEAK. Heavyweight is WEAK too. Why doesn't he give that a go?

his body isnt built for it. Im not doubting his skills, but cmon, look at lacy and trinidad physically. Its a complete mismatch.

What difference? LOL.

It doesn't matter that 168 is weak. He has been down in 7 fights against fighters who punch no where near as hard as Lacy or other top 168 lbs fighters. This is just asking for trouble.

If he want's to do it, *** it, let him do it, that's what I like bout him he likes real challenges(?)...would a fight against Lacy/Calzague be risky? Of course...Would I pay to see it? Hell yeah..

I'd pay for it ... but I still think he'd be ill advised to do it.

Pernell Whitaker was too small for 154 pounds also...thats why he beat JC Vasquez for the WBA title at 154

you can't just speak "in general" about a guy being too small...is he too small for Jeff Lacy in particular? Probably. But too small for Markus Beyer? I doubt it.

he's been down in 7 fights, but he has 1 LOSS, knockdowns are what motivates Tito to take over and dominate (geez I can't believe that I'm defending Tito, I've rooted against him for about a decade...)

You're right, I was thinking of Lacy. Never seen Beyer so I can't speak to that but I do thik he's too small to contend in that class, generally.

154 was too big for Swee Pea btw.
